It is amazing to me how often homosexuality pops into your head…for someone who claims to be straight. Not there is anything wrong with that. I personally didn’t think much at all about how little they were wearing during fight scenes while watching the movie.

I was far more interested in seeing legs get cut off in slow motion. You apparently had a mind filled with pictures of underwear.

Bodybuilders do their work in speedos. Is that gay? If I go to a Mr. Olympia as a spectator, does that make me fruity (you know, looking at mostly nude muscular guys and all)? I think someone needs to look in the mirror to see the real fruit.

Sadly a lot of people do think that makes you gay. I think that people are far too focused on what makes people gay. I say there is a simple way to tell, if you like to have sex with people of the same gender you’re gay. If you follow that simple rule then you no longer have to fight about what’s gay anymore.

What if you close your eyes and pretend you are having sex with someone of the opposite gender?

I suppose that only makes you half-gay, it’s also not gay as long as you punch them out afterwards.

PRETENDING to have sex or IMAGINING having sex? One is OK, the other will probably get you arrested (like Pee Wee Herman) or at least thrown out of the building.

Well, I believe homosexuality was the primary plot device in the movie. Sure the .5 seconds of the leg getting cut off was ok, but for every severed leg there were 43 minutes of half naked, oiled up Spartans flirting with each other. Of course you could be right. Maybe I’m the gay one and I’m just mad because it wasn’t gay enough, but I doubt it.

PS I’m not sure what a plot device is, i just added that because I thought it sounded good.

PPS My mind is always filled with pictures of underwear, no matter what the movie, mostly due to Frederick’s of Hollywood bombarding my address with catalogs. The newest one came in today, hurray!

Thank God, I was nervous for a minute after PJG’s post, but it turns out I’m clear. I always punch them out afterwards.

I so glad that you actually posted this, because I was looking for a new “gay meter” to use in real life. It turns out that the movie “300” is only 75% accurate.

You know, I once told a buddy of mine that Billy Joel’s songs were gay. About 20 minutes later he listened to “piano man” on his ipod and he had the uncontrollable urge suck a dick, proving that when I say something is gay, it makes you gay. That is science at work, case closed.

PS I looked in the mirror, but all I could see were naked Spartans. I should have never seen that damn gay movie.

PPS 84.9% of all Mr. Olympia spectators are at least 39% gay

Danny Bonaduce?

Awesome. Knowing the ending does take a little from it. But none the less - awesome. Good boobage, impressive physique of the cast, good cinema.

Best of all:
A BUNCH OF SPARTANS KICKED SOME IRANIAN ASS, TAKE THAT YOU EMBASSY STORMING, TERORIST ELECTING, WOMEN ABUSING ASSWIPES!!!

It is a global warming issue. The globe was a lot warmer 2500 years ago. It cooled to the mini-iceage 750 years ago and is warming now to get back to normal (we humans DID NOT cause it). Point is, the tempurature in Greece was a lot hotter than it is now, hence the attire of the warriors.

There just has to be a good word for someone who tries way to hard to be witty and clever…

The worse part is that I replied to the wrong message. I wanted the one right under the one I quoted. I hate it when that happens. I’m glad you didn’t notice (or maybe a little sad you didn’t even take the time to notice)

Anyway,I wasn’t trying to amuse you, nor am I trying to be witty or clever in an effort to impress the good folks at T-Nation, of which I know exactly zero.
I’m just having fun screwing off before my next class at the expense of some people who take themselves a little too serious.

And according to the urban dictionary, perhaps “tool” was the word you were looking for. You know if you spent a little more time reading and less time screwing off on the T-Nation forums, you wouldn’t have to ask people to help you out with your vocabulary.

I saw 300 yesterday and thought it was awful. It was awful as historical fiction, and it was awful as a movie not based on history because it was internally inconsistent.

At one point Leonidas says the power of the spartan warriors is their formation, in the very next scene Spartans are running around wily nilly. They start off the movie by saying the weak babies are killed and all men are trained as warriors and do no work other than soldiering.

Then they proceed to introduce full time politicians that seem to have no concept of war, or fighting, freedom, and that need to be convinced to save the city- state every day else they become traitors and/or party through the war.

The fight scenes had nothing to do with how hoplites or for that matter any human would have fought with that gear. Why does everyone in the movie have to twirl around in this movie when they fight. It was like watching a ballerina acting out a fight scene.

The biggest problem is that is was gay. Gay unnecessary/redundant speeches, gay guys fighting without shirts or armor, gay pseudo politics, and a gay enemy. Gay plot line, gay actors, and gay costumes. The only time that the movie was remotely funny or cool is when they used historical spartan quotes.

I honestly don’t see how anyone liked this movie unless they are just too scared to buy gay porn and this is a close second. If you are literate, knowledgeable of Greek history, and not excited by the thought of naked men twirling around, skip this film.

Although I don’t see eye to eye with your assessment of the movie… your post was entertaining.

man i love the guys getting worried if there gay when they watch the movie. being gay never crossed my mind when i was watching the movie. Some VERY insecure guys on here.

I heard Chuck Liddell was supposed to be in 300 somewhere. Anyone know who he played? or am I misinformed?

Na, if Lidell was in the movie, the Spartans would have won easy…unless he was playing a Persian, in which case it would have only been fair to have him fight the 300 alone.

I believe he tied up some cross promo stuff, in relation to the idea that the spartans were the ‘ulitmate fighting champions’ of their time. This was when he turned up on that morning show looking a little out of it

Great movie (apart for those effing 20 squeeling 17 year-olds in the theater), but it’s no Batman Begins.

I had to post this.

BRUSH YOUR TEETH!!!

This movie was great. One of my all time favorites but this was absolutely hilarious to me.
